Makers are always identifying ways to invent new products and hack devices to improve their lives and lifestyle. With easily accessible components, open source hardware, and hackable platforms, it's easier and more fun than ever.

Building robots from scratch can be a tough task, but the Lego Mindstorms EV3 robotics kit makes it easy to create them in minutes. Far more than a toy, the programming brick allows you to create functional robots while its open source and hackable nature will allow you to use the powerful LeJOS framework to create projects of increasing complexity.
